Host of Bills out vs. Texans, including WR Shakir, three on defense

‘Oliver suffered a hamstring injury in practice Thursday, and the other injuries took place in the game. Johnson (oblique), Rapp (concussion protocol) and Shakir (ankle) have not practiced this week. Shakir is the team’s leading receiver through four games, having caught 18 of 19 targets for 230 yards and two touchdowns. Curtis Samuel is among the receivers who will have more of a role in his absence.’

Bills QB Josh Allen will be without his top target in first game against Stefon Diggs

‘Khalil Shakir was amongst four players ruled out who played in Week 4. The Bills’ top receiver is dealing with an ankle injury. The three other injuries were on the defensive side of the ball. Ed Oliver Taylor Rapp, and Austin Johnson will all mis Week 5, as well, which is the last thing the Bills needed after already being without Matt Milano, Terrel Bernard, and Taron Johnson.’

McDermott: Bills need to perform at higher level against Texans

‘”We didn’t perform at a level that would have allowed us to win the game, and that’s playing and coaching both,” said Bills head coach Sean McDermott on Friday during his weekly appearance on the “Extra Point Show” on WGR. “That’s what I’m talking about when I’m talking about perform. That’s something we can control, and you can’t always control the result. But if you perform at a level that gives you a chance to win, that’s what you can control.”‘

‘”I’ve been through a tornado in Nashville in 2019, the Buffalo Blizzard in 2022 – nothing compares,” Gordon said. “I still think I’m trying to process it all. It’s incredibly hard to process because at least with a tornado, or as we know in Buffalo, storms can pick one spot. It can be in Orchard Park and not East Amherst. I mean all of Asheville and the surrounding communities are affected.”‘

‘Buffalo’s defense could receive a boost from the return of linebacker Terrel Bernard. The defensive captain has been a full participant in practice this week and is listed as questionable after missing the past two games with a pectoral muscle strain. All-Pro defensive back Taron Johnson also is questionable to play for the first time since hurting his forearm in the season opener.’

Carucci Take 2: Bills-Texans ‘revenge game’ is as much for Allen as it is for Diggs

‘For Diggs, it’s his best opportunity to remind the Bills of exactly how much they were subtracting by deciding that trading him to the Texans in April was addition by subtraction. For Allen, it’s his best opportunity to show the Bills’ passing game is better off with a group of receivers that, as the quarterback has pointed out, aren’t concerned with stats – a clear shot at Diggs.’
